This week worldwide news headlines buzzed with the announcement of the new Pope. Most were surprised by the choice; the Argentinian cardinal hadn’t even been in the running according to most, and he wasn’t the fresh new face that many seemed to be expecting. Reaction in Canada was mixed. Most Canadians welcomed Pope Francis as someone who would bring greater focus to the developing world, however others were disappointed that Marc Ouellet didn’t make the cut. This wasn’t the only disappointment suffered by Canadians this week, federal Liberal party members lost their second favourite candidate for leadership on Wednesday. It seems that Garneau didn’t like his chances and felt it better to simply drop out and throw his support behind Trudeau.
